Nice game! The variety of enemies makes the arena shooter tense all along. I didn’t really use warping mechanic as I’m not used to it. I only thought it necessary when I reached game over with the boss spamming bullets, but at that point there were many bullets over the screen and warping was risky too.
Also, it says Game over but in fact it’s a soft game over as the boss just spams bullets? I’m not goo at dodging these but I feel like a more experienced player could have survived much longer to increase score even more?
Hmm, that game over thing sounds like a bug, it should end the game and record your score. I think the warping has potential but most players don't end up using it, so if I were to take this game further I would incentivize players to use it more! The lasers that stay on screen for a while were to help with that.
